APPARATUS FOR COOKING, BROILING, BAKING, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,079, dated February 6, 1894. Application led May 2, 1893. Serial No. 472,806. (No model.)

arrangement and combination with a vapor burning stove, of a hot air chamber, a heat deiector, a griddle, an extension for the hot air chamber, and a cover for the hot air chamber, as hereinafter set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in `which Figure 1 is a view of the hot air chamber, Fig. 2 ofthe deiector, Fig. 3 of the griddle, Fig. 4 of the hot air chamber extension, Fig. 5 of the cover, and Fig. 6 is a sectional view Vof the apparatus in position, as required for practical use.

A represents the hot air chamber in the form of a sheet metal vessel adapted to be carried about and also adapted to be placed on top of a stove. It has an open top and an opening in the center of its flat bottom to admit the hydro-carbon burner of a vapor-burning stove, as shown in Fig. 6; Hand holds B at its top facilitate lifting it, and its contents, on and off the stove. It may vary in size as desired. f Gis a deflector made of sheet metal and adapted in size to be placed in concentric po-Y sition within the chamber A.` It is preferably concavo-convex in form and provided with feet d adapted to rest upon the fiat bottom of the chamber A, so that the deiiector will be supported immediately over the blaze origin-ating from the burning gas or vapor, as indicated in Fig. 6, to spread and deliect the heat and protect the upper portion of the chamber and everything placed therein from becoming smoked or begrimed from any of the products of combustion. This deflector may be a fiat plate or a fiat top may be iixed on the top of the concavo-convex plate, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 6, to produce an air-tight drum or radiator; but the concave bottom is preferred because it will, in lforoiling meats, catch and retain drippings of F represents a broiler adapted in shape and size to be placed upon an annular bead or ledge g on the inside and upper portion of the chamber A.

A2 represents an air chamber extension having an open-bottom and open top and adapted to be detaehably placed on top of the open-topped chamber A, to serve, inV combination with the chamber A, as an oven for baking and roasting food therein.y

J is a cover adapted in shape and size to be placed on top of the chamber A, or on the extension A2 as required to retain the heat.

It is obvious that in the practical operation of my invention composed of the separable parts described, it can be readily handled as required for use or for cleaning and storing away, or packing and shipping. It also is obvious that the heat generated within the chamber will be confined therein and in close contact with the food, or anything that may be placed therein to be subjected to heat. It is also obvious that for toasting bread or broiling meats, dac., the extension A2 is not required, so that the cover J can be placed directly on the top ofthe chamber A and the heat retained close to the matter placed upon the griddle F, and the heat thus economized and the work facilitated by the removal of the open-bottomed extension chamber A2.

I am aware ovens adapted for use on vapor-burning stoves have been in use, but in no instance has an apparatus been composed of separable parts, as contemplated by my invention, in which an open-topped and openbottomed extension of the hot air chamber can be advantageously removed in the manner set forth to facilitate cooking and baking and economizing heat.

I claim as my invention- 1. In an apparatus for cooking and broiling food on a vapor burning stove the combination of the following named separable parts, to wit:-a hot air chamber having an opening in its bottom to admit a burner and an open IOO ing in its bottom, a broiler and means for supporting it within the said chamber above the said defiector, an extension yor auxiliary hot air chamber having an open top and open bottom fitted on top of the main hot air chamber, and a cover for the top of the hot air chamber, arranged and combined with a vaypor burner as and for the purposes stated.
